BMW M4 (G82) ADRO Widebody kit -1/24 Scale model!

Next up in my Full Model car line-up is this stunning G82 M4 by ADRO with the awesome widebodykit. 

The model comes in a single color print, separated wheels/tires, exhaust and spoiler (wheels do not spin, display model only). Everything should press together, but some gluing may be required. Please take special care while removing the supports from the spoiler and setting it in place as it is fragile.

This is a small spin-off project from my recently added Supra Collection ( https://makerworld.com/en/models/1646284-toyota-supra-turbo-model-car-set-with-mods#profileId-1740049 ). I still have quite a number of cars from my Layered Car models that I've done in the past that I think would look fantastic in a full print!  ( https://makerworld.com/en/collections/6642322-layered-car-art-collection ) 

Drop me a comment and let me know which car model you would like to see made not just layered, but in a full car print! 

Size

This is a 1/24 Scale Model. My previous uploads were slightly smaller so this model was adjust by 127% size to bring it to a true 1/24 scale! Below is a reference image to my previously “standard” size models. (PS: all the models are sized similarly, so if you want to print any of the previous models in 1/24 scale just scale all of the parts equally to 127%)

Assembly

The assembly process is very straightforward with only a couple of things to look out for. The print profile includes a few things: The body of the car (made in one-piece print for a no-seam/glue model), 4 tires (if you care to pay attention to the detail there are 2 left and 2 right tires), and one set of wheels (more to come as I expand the collection)

Start by carefully removing the supports. Most should come off just fine, but at times I found myself using a pick to get to the ones inside of wheel wells. I then recommend using a razor blade (carefully) to remove any support material build-up in the wheel wells and back of model, particularly at the bottom of the rear bumper, top of the license plate cutout, and under the spoiler. 

The most important part is to slightly cut down the wheel spindles area that droops down at the support. This will ensure that you don’t have too hard of a time pushing on the wheels (and risk breaking the wheel and/or spindle). I recommend shaving it down a little, and testing the wheel, and shaving again if needed in a couple of passes. The wheels should be firm to press on, but not feel like you will break the spindle. Due to various filament properties I have settled on wheel cutout size that should work in any filament, but may take a little more shaving for a good, snug fit. 

Once you have shaved the spindle down, press the tires onto the wheels, and install the wheels to the spindles. Make sure to properly align  all wheels in the same orientation.
